are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

Thanks angel.
Can anyone expand on Surveyhead e.g. Pay, time and terms of payment.

Ps. Angel, do you actually know anyone who's been 'caught' with 2 accounts lol?

Most of surveryheads surveys are worth $1 but it seems to have converted to £ for people in the UK recently so the numbers look really odd (60p per survey etc). But I find I only complete one a week, someone else on here has got a payout from them and it was apparently within the terms given (think it was mentioned a few pages back).

As for people being caught there are plenty of reports about accounts being closed but noone admitted to having dup accounts as far as I can remember, personally its just not worth it imho. Id rather have a slow dribble of money coming in and be considered reliable and trustworthy than cut that dribble off for cheating the system in an attempt to increase it.

If you go to the survey police site http://www.surveypolice.com/ you can read on things like that happening to others- its worrying, some cases are genuine- i.e two people who did live at the same address were doing surveys on their computers but as it was from the same address, the IP address was checked and accounts were cancelled.(every computer used at the same address will have the same IP number, wireless or not, if your mate were to bring round their comouter to use at your home, your address would be traceable to them, even though its his computer). What triggered them being cancelled? requesting cash-out. Not nice!

With OnePoll, it relies on honesty, they do checkups to see if people are using duplicate accounts according to an email they sent to me when I asked if I could have my friend fill in the surveys that didn't apply to me. They said no, they said one account per person and they said they also do random checks. I then later on had a friend who had her account cancelled for doing every survey going on their site- luckily for her she was only about £7 into her account.

Unless your a very good liar, (if you are, why are you not the next "catch-me-if-you-can" and making £millions?!) they will probably find you out as you have to fill in a profile, to get all the surveys you'd have to pretend to be several different identities- how would you remember and not confuse them all? Also, wouldn't you get fed up always trying to pretend to think like someone else in order to give a consistent and honest-looking answer? would drive me mad anyway! And for what? a few more pence? -not worth it!

I would email them asap.

When that happened to me they had closed my account saying i had been untruthful when filling out surveys which wasn't true. They finally agreed to let me back into my account for a set number of days to withdraw my points which worked out at something like £20 or £30. Had i not emailed them they would have kept the account closed & kept my vouchers.
No email or anything before hand to say they were closing it, i only found out when i tried to log in & it wasn't accepting my details.

Recently signed up for OnePoll, most of the surveys seem to be for a chance to win Amazon vouchers. The paid for ones I've done are very quick though, but only paid 5p and 10p (its £40 payout although you get £2.50 when you join). If anyone has a referal email for pinecone could you please private message me? Thank you x

Dear xxx
